Explanation

When a component project fails to meet its performance objectives, the program manager's first responsibility is to assess the impact on the overall program's benefits delivery. A change request from a project manager signals a potential ripple effect upward. Before deciding to close the project (A), re-baseline the program (B), or update risk registers (D), the program manager must understand how this performance failure affects the program-level benefits and interdependencies. Assessment of benefits and impact provides the information needed to make any subsequent decisions - it is always the logical next step when a component change is introduced.
